Permalinks not regenerating properly when editing recurring events on same day

[ajoranger]

This issue is occurring on 4.4.24.2.

When saving a recurring event with multiple events on the same day, the expected behavior is to auto-generate a unique URL for each instance, such as:

mysite.com/events/the-event-name/2018-04-20
mysite.com/events/the-event-name/2018-04-20/2
mysite.com/events/the-event-name/2018-04-20/3
..etc

This is what occurs when an event is saved for the first time. However, when a new item is added to the series the permalinks for the new instance is the same as the first instance, i.e.:

mysite.com/events/the-event-name/2018-04-20

when it should be:

mysite.com/events/the-event-name/2018-04-20/4

This seems like a bug, in that updating the series should create additional permalinks.

Hi Abigail!

Just wanted to share with you that a new release of out plugins is out, including a fix for this issue 🙂

We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience while we worked on this.

As always, we suggest to setup a dev/staging site so you can make all plugin updates without disrupting the live site. Please update the plugins and let us know if the fix works for your site.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
